A/S = all-season. Stiff sidewalls transmit more of the little bumps to the driver. In other words, you'll feel more of the expansion joints and little bumps. The trade off is quicker response to your steering inputs. The difference way be subtle, but you will feel it. Typically more aggressive or performance-oriented tires have stiffer sidewalls.
